AI Agent Frequently Misspells Customer Information
# support
k
The AI agent is making frequent spelling mistakes when handling customer details, especially names. For example, if a customer says "Kanhaiya", the AI sometimes records or repeats it as "Kniya", which is incorrect and unprofessional. These types of errors can lead to confusion and a poor customer experience. It’s important to improve the AI's accuracy in recognizing and processing names correctly, especially those with regional or less common spellings. Please look into this issue and take necessary action to enhance the AI’s language and recognition capabilities.

To improve the accuracy of your AI agent in handling and processing names, consider the following steps: 1. **Transcription Model**: Switch to a more accurate transcriber. Based on previous discussions, Deepgram Nova-3 has been recommended for handling names better. 2. **Prompt Specificity**: Ensure system prompts and node prompts are specific enough to contextualize the AI's tasks. You can make adjustments to these prompts within the Vapi dashboard to help the AI process the input correctly. 3. **Custom Keywords**: Add custom keywords or phrases that include common regional or non-English name variations to improve the AI's recognition capabilities. 4. **Voice Test Suites**: Use the voice test suites to test different name pronunciations and other variables by navigating to Test > Voice Test Suites in your dashboard. This will help identify issues in controlled scenarios. 5. **Logs and Call Analysis**: Utilize Call Logs and API Logs to monitor where the errors are occurring and cross-check against expected outcomes. This can help identify patterns or specific phonetic challenges your AI is facing. These changes should enhance your AI's ability to process names accurately and improve the overall customer experience.

We have a very large customer base, and we plan to use Vapi aggressively, but at this point in time, I don't want to lose it.

Have your Vapi assistant clearly ask for the email, spell it back to confirm, use robust speech-to-text for accurate transcription, validate the email format with backend checks, and thoroughly test the flow to ensure error-free booking..
